Fresno Famous

...whoah...

I'd forgotten that poem not long after I'd written it.

Havn't written any real poetry in, yeesh, years.
that was from, what, July of '06?
Need to work on that.

(though, maybe I'll avoid all that societal 'angst,' stuff...)

Still.
IF there were ever two thoughts I'd not want to put too close together in my head.

Somebody would blow nearly a thousand bucks for shoes (I've actually sold them for more than that,) which, I seriously have no real feelings nor judgements about, (kind of like: 'whatever,')

and the look that was in the little girl's eye, when I saw her and her mom going through the dumpster behind my apartment last night...

I think she had to be about six.

My nose job

Too late I got a nose job. I didn't want to look like common people so I am perfecting my unique character with my Barbara Streisand look. I just love it!

$800 shoes vs. bitter jealous birds

See!!! once again.......bitter ha! Anyhoo, off to buy Chanel boots $1700 ....priceless.

$800 shoes mmmmmmmm!!!!!!

ooohhh!!! bitter bird, probably had a high maintenance girlfriend leave him or for her she is just jealous. Everyone knows when you say mean things it means only one of two things envy or jealousy.

ps. I know Sue, she works for fun! she is a trust fund baby and can buy whatever f......n shoes she wants.

back to $800 shoes

If these woman are capable of transcending their own narcissism (particularly miss "trendy"), it would be nice to educate them about the consequences of our greedy conspicous consumption on the rest of the world, the environment, etc. Better yet, if they could be put in affected environments and "walk in THEIR shoes"..... Unfortunately this mentality is all too common in America. ME ME ME. I think they should start reading (NOT fashion rags) and listening to radio stations like KPFA/KFCF (88.1 fm).

Hyphenated Names

Funny, I see a lot more hyphenated names now then I did in the 80's.

pairless in fresno

i said it cuz it wasnt nice or appropriate. hyphenated last names went out with the eighties.

Ouch!

"Sue needs a nose job" is really not nice or an appropriate comment. She is not the one wasting $800 on shoes either. So she is bright as well.

sue needs a nose job

sue needs a nose job

high-class women

Ahm gonnna go get meeee a reel high class woman. No low class womens for meez. Reel top shelf fe-males. Ah knowz howz to treetz um - deez high class womenz. Ah dreeses em upz in only da finest! Dimundz. Perlz. Shoez costin eight hundreds dollars!

the price of things

gems
mined from the ground
where unknown wirey vibrant black souls,
smiling brightly for their running children
no longer,
fall from makeshift ladders
a few hundred feet each day.

fingers
lost in a mill by a woman
working three jobs
just to keep her doublewide,
(her friend was killed
on the way home
last week,
-fell asleep at the wheel.)

what the family was paid
for WTC victims
...pro-rated upon whether they worked
on the 103rd floor
as a CFO
or a porter

two homeless,
goaded into fighting with bricks
by a greasey haired sixteen year old
with the camcorder
for a sixpack

pitbulls,
the rottis
and boxers
they chewed
to get there

lampshades and wallets,
still carrying
the tattoos
bought on EBay
-by someone who just scored
the matching
wool
cape
last night
(and has the molar cufflinks)

that poor son of a bitch who will do anything
for 50 bucks on Craigslist

a girl
who thinks she's ugly,
-for drinks and a few compliments
to expose herself
to the world
on cam

good medication by the elderly,
so they can afford full dosages of expired chalkdust
from below the border,

mexicans
working in 120 heat,
injured,
wrapped with rags,
and moving like nothing happened,
-so they at least still have a job

the heartless structured bastard,
who's built an empire within the company,
will fire those there longest,
(to save on insurance,)
who once just wanted to do the job well.

the shift supervisor at Chernobyl,
who stayed to help put out the fire,
knowing he would be dead in weeks,
(he lasted hours.)

two blonde socialites,
trying on 600 dollar shoes,
talking endlessly on their cell phones,
ignoring the pleas of their 80 year old grandmother,
who was just tired and wanted to go home
(Christmastime)

someone
in a country
where they leave the girls
to die in the snow,
and drown their women
on camera,
-the family was paid.
-google it

your liver and kidneys
just so
you don't get angry,
sad,
anxious,
or laid anymore...

when there is nothing to be earned,
and everything to be paid,
-except attention

we forget,
so easily
what things cost
how priceless
lives
really are
-don't we?

(I've seen all of this in my brief life.
-and so have you.)

maybe we just don't want to know...

...somebody give me an 'I'm goin to Disneyland!'

I'd do it.

$800 for shoes?

Why the fuck not!

As long as they came packaged with the bottled soul of the 14-year-old Malaysian child that sewed the shoes for $3 an hour.

Or a bottled liter of sweat from the old Italian shoemaker that earned another 4 loaves of bread for his wife and grandchildren.

The Brand of shoes, however would heavily depend on the manufacturing company that spent enough in advertising to convince me that my feet are worth $800 for a pair of shoes I'd wear a maximum of maybe 3 times in a year. Because if I could afford shoes that expensive, I'd probably be entrenched in a social circle in which other people's opinions about what I wear (and repeat wear) really do affect my purchasing decisions enough to contribute to consumer waste, all for a dandy image. Baaa. Baaa.

If you've got $800 to waste on shoes, try this out: spend maybe $100 on the footwear and donate the other $700 to a Philanthropy. You're setting your money on fire either way. One just facilitates stomping on those in need, while the other Helps them.

shut up about the tires

soooo stupid. the guys who made comments about about $800 being too much are idiots that don't know how to treat a high class lady to the nice things in life. cocaine dealer? wtf? the people that made these comments are a) single, living in an apartment using the internet at a local library b) single, living at home using their parents computer c) married to a frumpy old broad that they can't stand (ps. she's probably cheating) or finally d) rich and married, (ps. your lady bangs that poolboy, gardener, mailman, and the clerk at taco bell)

Hell for $800 I could get a

Hell for $800 I could get a giant bag of OUTDOOR no-cal WEED oh ya baby...way fucking better than shoes....

psychopathology

Im sure nadya means eight hundred dollars of someone elses money. Honestly, its easy to understand her comment from the perspective of a person raised on the oc and 90210 - well, who wouldnt pay eight hundred dollars for a pair of shoes, right?! Sue, on the other hand, is thirty-seven. Hmmmm....three hundred dollars for a pair of shoes? And you say your an 'associate' at bb peppers? Associate bb peppers cocaine dealer? Seriously, get these women some help.

shoes

atleast she looks cute....

For sure.

Michelin heels? I'm sure you could totally pull that off, Paul.

$800 for shoes?

You should start asking the question, How much would you pay for a set of four tires?, because for $800 you can get a nice set of performance tires.
